Barbara Bauer, a selfless and kind-hearted woman from Albany, New York, is currently on life support due to congestive heart failure. Her family has made the heart-wrenching decision to take her off life support on Saturday. Barbara’s daughters, Stephanie and Valerie, are devastated by the impending loss and are struggling with the burden of funeral expenses.
Barbara was known for her generosity and unwavering support for others, always offering a helping hand and a listening ear despite her own struggles. Her daughters, Stephanie and Valerie, were her pride and joy, and she beamed with pride at their accomplishments. Barbara also cherished her three grandchildren, James, Robbie, and Jeremy, who brought immense light and love into her life.
Stephanie Grunert has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for Barbara’s funeral expenses, aiming to give her the dignified farewell she deserves. As of today, the fundraiser has raised $245 of the $5,000 goal, with donations from Ken and Teresa Woodmansee, Andrea Craig, Amy Schafer, and an anonymous donor.
Stephanie Grunert shared on Facebook, "Please share, and please share your stories of my mom. So many people loved her." Another comment from Barb Bauer described Barbara as "a selfless and kind-hearted woman," highlighting the profound impact she had on those around her.
The community’s support through the fundraiser is crucial in alleviating the financial burden on Barbara’s family, allowing them to focus on celebrating her life and legacy. Arrangements for the services will be updated once finalized with McVeigh Funeral Home.
